Is there a way using windows XP Home to put a time limit on a user profile? I
wish to limit the time kids spend using the internet.

up an amount of time per user.

What? Quotas are only in XP Pro and apply to disk space allocations. Geez
this one is far out even for you Andrew E.

Andrew, It was my understanding that Quota was for managing disk space usage not time parameters.

Disregard Andrew E.'s posts. He is our resident troll. Occasionally he'll
post with something that is correct, but most of the time his posts range
for the innocuously wrong, to the ridiculous (like this one) to the
downright dangerous.

Reminds me of Carey Frisch's posts back in the early days of XP.

He meant well, he just didn't have a clue what he was talking about.

Thanks Rock..
I appreciate the input.
Quota is an option in XP Home(ntfs partitions only); not sure if it functions since never having a need or use for it.

You're welcome. I didn't realize the disk quota function was available in
XP Home.
